Giant Beaver Mandible Castoroides ohioensis Pleistocene, Citrus Co.
FL
![]()
10" long $2650 order f704
COMMENTS: very small amount of restoration, some teeth composite, very
solid bone, from Lake Rousseau on the Withlacoochee River. This is one of
the rarest and most sought after of the Ice Age fossils. The giant beaver
is legendary in the mythology of several American Indian tribes. Complete
mandibles are very rarely offered. Very well presented on a rustic slab of
red oak from our Santa Fe property, with solid brass mounts. This is a
great investment opportunity.







Columbian Mammoth molar Mammuthus columbi
![]()
Pleistocene, Columbia Co. FL
11 1/2" tall (tooth itself off stand) $595 order e468
COMMENTS: found in two pieces, glued together, no restoration, perfect and huge,
attention getter, displays very well, mounted on magnolia stand with brass
mounts. This is an exceptionally attractive tooth, worthy of any
collection or museum.



Rhinoceros Mandible Menoceras barbouri early Miocene Dixie
Co. FL
13" $2,150 order mi821
COMMENTS: one of the rarest rhinos in Florida. Not rare out west,
but the jaws are usually in a thousand pieces or lying shattered in matrix.

TAPIR
Tapirus veroensis
Pleistocene, Citrus Co. FL
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Following are two incredible articulated leg sets of Parahippus leonensis, Late Early Miocene, Dixie Co., FL, appx. 20 million years old. Both are composites but are carefully matched from the same site. Both have restoration on the splint bones. These tiny bones are so extremely thin and fragile, I have never seen an unbroken one, just the proximal and distal portions. None of the side hooves nor the phalanges has any restoration, and where mentioned, only a small amount on the center hoof. These are extremely rare specimens, not likely available elsewhere. All are mounted on attractive hardwood bases with brass rod.





Measures 7 1/4" high without stand. Small amount of restoration on
cannon bone, also splint bones, a tiny bit on center hoof, none on other
hooves or phalanges. Mounted on African padauk base. $600
order mi754





Measures 8 7/8" high without stand. Small amount of restoration on
cannon bone, also splint bones, none on hooves or other phalanges. Mounted
on Pennsylvania spalted maple base. $600 order mi757
